Please, make bundles of Trainer Points AND Trainer Credits available for purchase with real money

Come back once you have real arguments against all that have being said instead of name-calling.
Good try though.

It's not name calling if it's true. Asking for micro transaction, how anti-consumer are you? Constantly, paying real money for digital "goods". If you don't want to keep the real cards after buying the pack then sell them and make some of your money back or use them in a fireplace. Heck give them away to kids who love to collect Pokemon cards. You get so many free decks in this game every year alone. It doesn't take that much to update/improve them. Finally, just play enough each day to get the daily gems challenges done and you can progress in the season pass at the same time. The daily gem rewards are actually generous compared to other online card games.

As people like you usually do, you haven't read the thread and haven't adressed ANY of the points made in it. I know that reasoning and logic can be tough for people of your intelectual "status", but give it a try, won't you?
The game is completely free. The Pokemon Company gains absolutely nothing from it except for advertisement for the physical pokemon cards. So yes, I'm advocating for microtransactions so the Pokemon Company have a reason to invest more in the game instead of leaving the dev team understaffed and, maybe, even hire some more talent to fix it's many problems. How is that anti-consumer? Like I said in my previous posts, if nothing else changes, like the points we currently get and add bundles of trainer points/credits so people that doesn't have the time to play all day can keep up, how would that affect you? I tell you, since reason isn't your forte: it wouldn't.
The bit about giving cards to kids or burning at a fireplace is pathetic at best. I'm not Santa Claus and I don't care for physical pokemon cards. That's the reason I play a online TCG and not physical. Are you able to understand that or is it too hard for you?
The fact that the daily trainer points/credits rewards are better than most TC gmaes, is completely and utterly irrelevant. Not that I expected you to understand that, but here we are.
Again, and try to think relly hard before you answer, you can do it, I believe in you: how are microtransactions going to impact you negatively? And since I know reading comprehention is a challenge for you, let me reiterate: I'm not asking for the rates in which we gain trainer points/credits to diminish. I want them to stay as they are and, on top of that, add bundles of trainer points/credits so people who have a life and work to do can keep up with people like you.

@Groth_SUsej I get it that it can be tough to explain reasoning to certain people, just be careful when choosing way how to do so. I got my post flagged as abusive just because I mentioned that I don't like the how Raichu look like as pokémon and prefer unevolved Pikachu.
Questioning someone intelligence, is treading on the thin ice, which I cannot approve of.

@Baulder You are right. I got a little angry and carried away. I'll strive to do better next time.

Please do NOT do this. I love this game because I dont have to do micro-transactions. I consider Pokemon TCG Live! one of the best things Nintendo has done with the Pokemon franchise. Its not only made me fall in love again with the game, but its given me a mental outlet that is fun and healthy. If people want to pay to play, TCG Pocket is where they should go. Please leave TCG Live for the people who just want to play the card game and focus on strategy. With Live, I feel like Pokemon could possibly be as big as Magic, if more people learned to actually play the card game for what it is. Pokemon TCG Live does that AND you can install it basically anywhere! I love the game chess because of its strategy challenges and TCG Live provides me with a similar satisfaction.

Like I asked before in a previous post, can you please clarify how would adding OPTIONAL microtransactions affect your gameplay or how you play the game at all?
Again, what I'm asking is for them to keep everything the way it is. And that includes the rates in which we gain exp, trainer points/credits etc. Nothing will change with the exception that the game would have OPTIONAL ways to acquire trainer points/credits for people that can't spend the whole day playing the game.
And like was said before, this may actually improve the game, since the Pokemon Company will have reason to invest more in it since it will give them revenue. The game and it's players will have only to gain from this.

I understand why you would like microtransactions (I did read your arguments!)
I think my concern with this is it could lead Pokémon down a trail where more and more becomes monetized (like Clash Royale or what Pokémon GO may be becoming—don't even get me started on Dynamax mons).
While adults don't mind investing some money in a game they enjoy, kids don't have as much money, and are sometimes not allowed to spend it on in-game transactions (the latter—and former, for that matter—was my situation when I was younger).
It would be a shame if Live became pay-to-win. I know it slightly is now, because you can buy physical cards, and I know you're not requesting it becomes super pay-to-win, but I'm worried that if Big Pikachu starts down that trail they maybe wouldn't be able to stop.

Hey there! Thanks for reading it all and thanks for being nice!
To be honest, this also concerns me. They could go down a path of lowering the current gains of trainer points/credits in order to make the purchases more "attractive", if not downright forcing peole to buy them to continue playng the game. I do believe it's a low chance that they go this route, but it is possible.
I believe that, if they actually do this, our only recourse would be to vote with our wallets and cease all purchases within PTCGL untill they fix it again. That are precedents of companies actually listening to their communities in that regard and going back to the way the community wants it, so I have high hopes that, if the Pokemon Company ever overreach, they would listen if we complain and vote with our wallets.
I don't want PTCGL to become pay to win as well. And you can be sure I'll be voicing my opinions if they ever go down that path.
